Getting Ready for Summer - Golf

The Miniature Book of Miniature Golf

by Mike Vago

This book is more about playing than reading. After all, how many books come with a putter and two tiny golf balls? Vago's creation presents a nine hole course complete with landscaping and water hazards. Prefect for a distraction at the office or as entertainment on rainy days that are less than ideal for heading outside to the green. The hole in each page drops the ball in the exact spot to tee off for the next hole. Give as a great gift or challenge your co-workers and family to a round of miniature-miniature golf! It's about time to brush-up on your putting game and there's no better way to do it than The Miniature Book of Miniature Golf.

"Destroy the Sith we must" reads the Yoda quote while the image of Yoda appears to move across the opposite page, wielding his green lightsaber. Using an optical illusion technology that he invented, Rufus Butler Seder (the creator of Gallop! and Waddle!) presents readers with 11 scenes along with classic quotes from the ever-popular Star Wars series. As you turn each page, the pictures move - C-3PO crosses the desert with his friend R2-D2, Luke and Leia swing to safety, Darth Vader reveals the truth, and Lando escapes the exploding Death Star.
